This scene felt very reminiscent of when I saw the hawk kill a pigeon. It was the same surreal scene that I glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. So my first thought was once again, what a bizarre spot for a lawn decoration, and damn is that realistic. I should add, I caught this sight at the tail end of my walkabout on Sat. when it was like 98 degrees, so I thought there was a significant possibility I was hallucinating. You see I had the bright idea of hydrating myself with one medium raspberry slush puppy over a five and half hour journey. But anyway, upon closer inspection I encountered a really sad scene. This was a six point buck (look closely under the bush) that was really a beautiful animal. It looked like he got stuck in the foliage and must of worn himself out to death trying to get free. Remember it was hot as hell. Very sad. I knocked on the door of the house to let them know but nobody answered. How the hell do you get a dead deer out of your yard anyway? Will the city do it? So for those who have an insatiable curiosity, like I, there is a closer shot I took when I was investigating after the jump. (more…)


I always like keeping my eyes peeled for how much I can get paid for my unwanted car because I believe it is a phenomenal barometer for the health of the economy. So I was delighted to see a new record price of $155. (Not a good sign for the economy.) It seems like just yesterday when the going rate was $125.

I thought this picture was particularly fresh because of the license plate leaned right up against the sign. Almost like the deal was so good someone took it on the spot.


I think I may have asked this a while ago but I can’t remember – is there any benefit of grilling on something like this versus your standard Char Broil grill? This one certainly looks cool. What other benefits does it have?


It reminds me of that movie that showed how nature would take over if humans were no longer living on the planet. Well, that’s depressing. Sorry about that.


Holy cow, a free recorded message? Have you ever heard of a better incentive? I’ve read some stories about this tough housing market and folks sweetening the deal with free cars, HDTVs even boats. But damn, a free recorded message…what’s this market coming to? Next they’ll be offering free fliers…


It been a while since I’ve spotted an unusual flag. I’m guessing Croatia? Anyone know?


I’ve never seen a back staircase that goes all the way up to the second floor. I wonder if that is a fire safety thing?


At first glance it just looks like a pile of clothes ready to be given away which is nice and all.

But at a closer glance you can see a fedora. I don’t know why but I love the fact that someone is giving away a fedora. (more…)


I saw this on a lamp post near the tennis courts in Adams Morgan.  Who knew elves and dragons had lived in peace for hundreds of years?  What I found of greater interest, though, was that every single one of the rip off tabs had been taken.  I guess Adams Morgan has a lot of folks who have what it takes to become riders.  I still find it very hard to believe that the elves would have much of a chance fighting dragons…
